nicely done - a pond always adds something special to a garden

lovely to have a pond, im thinking of making one this autumn

Fantastic pond just the right amount of foilage and planting

I think your pond is quite delightful and has given me inspiration and hope. I have a pond but its buried beneath total neglect but next year it will be a definite project.

thanks pansypotter and knittinglady, some of the plants around the pond have been replaced with new ones, the day lilies have gone, although they were one of my fav flowers when I found out they were very dangerous to cats I had to give them away, ( got an cat 19 years old and didn't want to take the risk) I've had lots of newts this year, and they have stayed in the pond longer due to the hot dry weather. My pond is only about 5ft by 5ft and not very deep, and it has lots of slit in the bottom, and its under some shrubs, in fact according to the experts it all wrong, but it is full of life and crystal clear, and gives me lots of pleasure watching the frogs newts etc

I'm so envious of your pond newts and your crystal clear water! Do you have any idea why your water is so clear? I'm hoping mine will improve as the oxygenating plants grow. But I don't seem to be able to attract frogs...mind you...I have seen a Heron at the pond, so perhaps it took them away. I'd be over the moon if I had newts! :) I think I just need to have a bit of patience perhaps.
